I wasn't sure how to read that. What I got out of it was that there will be ongoing displacements out of the 75(ER) categories while its being drawn down. And even though they didn't mention it, there will also be 320 displacements as they continue to be parked, unless we order some 320/321's fairly soon. Additionally, there will be M88 displacements probably starting at least in a few years as the oldest of those will begin to be retired.

IOW, there will always be displacements, even during periods of record hiring and advancement. What concerns us is will those displacements be "more than" made up for by replacement flying and *gasp* possibly even growth, even if "growth" is merely a slight reduction in post merger shrinkage.

So them saying we will perpetually kick bodies off the 75 categories really has nothing to do with endless displacements and I believe they even said as much in the next sentenence.

That's how I read it, and I do not waive my right to be cynical.
